When the delegates to the Democrat! national convention assembled In tho Colli ecu in at Chicago they fouud themselves ir the largest and best equipped conventloi building that has ever been constructed. I has a seating capacity of 16,000, and thi serried tier of chairs for visitors are so ar rndged that everyone Is able to see and heai all that take place on the delegate' Moor ol on the chairman's platform. Uy day thi great nan, the square dimensions ot w nict are 4 jo x MX) feet. Is amply lighted by nu merous window and skydghts, and by night more than I0U arc lamp furnish Illumina tion that rivals the light of dny. there is so much air space In the treat bail, and the arrangement for ventilatlot are so vast and perfect, that, however hot the weather may be whilo the oonventlon ll in semion. It Is certain that neither the dele gates nor the spei-tutora will be seriously In con van lenced by high temperature. 1 ne space allotted for tne delegate IS ot the level floor Immediately In front of th chiilrmau's platform. Hurroundlng the spac of the delegate on three sides I a raised platform, about a foot high, where seats foi the alternate will be provided. TcrrneeO platforms at each end ot the stage wert occupied by the reporters and newspapei correspondent, and thn telegraph o(ieratort win no tnetr worn under tne cnairmnn pint form. Accommodations for the committees ot credentials, resolutions, eta. i were arrangec for lu tho northeast corner of the building where commodious room nave been pur tltloned off. The decoration havo been welt lookei! after. Tii-colored stripe of bunting, a yard or more In width, are draped around the ralii ot tne galleries and swathe the mammoth steel arches that support tho lofty roof. Hundred ot Amerlcen lings hang from the high points of thn celling, and the coats of arms ot the various states of the are placed at the posts ot the tcallerle surrounding the ball. Directly over the chairman table I somewhat crude colored drawing, probably intended to be a reproduction of the nntlona. coat ot arm. The eagle Is there, aud, as lu mouth open, It Is probably screaming, but thn execution of this work of art is somewhat eartoonlsh. nnd some of the people who have tee rj it expensed their opinion that there wa room lor improvement It I conceded by everybody who ha at tended previous rational conventions that tho Coliseum Is the bent hall ever deigned tc bold large gatherings ot people.
